Avinash Sable sets a new national record and finishes seventh in 3000 m Steeplechase Heats!
He had two tumbles but
recovered remarkably well to clock a timing of 8:25:23, a new national
record! That is over three seconds faster than his previous best of
8:28.94!
Avinash Sable has been inducted into the final(Top 16) as Indian Federation's Appeal has been accepted by the IAAF regarding the same.
His time was deemed to have suffered due to the two tumbles which were deemed to have caused by others(not his own fault) therefore he has been inducted into the final.
He becomes first ever Indian Male to reach the Final of the 3000m Steeplechase event at a World Event.
Annu Rani finished 8th in Javeline throw Finals. She could not replicate her Qualifying Performance of 62.43 m. Her best attempt was of 61.12 m and came 8th out of 12. Gold went to Australia while China bagged Silver and Bronze
Indian Women's Hockey Team has also gone to England to play matches against the likes of Great Britain as a part of their preparation for the upcoming Olympic Qualifiers.
In the three matches so far against Great Britain,India has won one match and drawn the other two which is quite good performance in my opinion as Great Britain is a very good team.
Credit must be given to Indian Women's Team as well.
Indian Men's Hockey Team beat Belgium 5-1 in their last match of the Tour. This is a great sign for Indian Hockey as again Belgium's goalscorer was one of their prime player which tells me that it was Belgium's main team.
